Grabbing two Benadryl, I popped them in my mouth, sed them dry, then turned around to stare at my kitchen
It was bare
I hadn’t been there in weeks and my mom and Harlow had come over and completely cleaned it out
I didn’t even have a stray ketchup bottle in e, which was likely Harlow’s fault
Speaking of Harlow, I texted her, knowing that she would likely answer
Me: I’m in love with Laric
Harlow: Of course you are I’ve seen the size of his feet
Me: Yes, they’re quite girthy for feet I miss him
Harlow: Have you texted him?
Me: Yes But either he’s still working or he’s in bed and didn’t get it At least, that’s what I’ the text—hurts my heart too much to think about
Harlow: Based on the way he couldn’t take his eyes off of you when I was over the other day, you have nothing to worry about He loves you
I felt warh e ofabout
Me: I hope that you found what you’re looking for Because I want you to know that I have I didn’t know that I was searching for you, but you fell into my lap anyway I couldn’t have asked for a better man to save my life Couldn’t have dreamed up a better person Let me just say that the moment that I laid eyes on you; I knew you were different You hat I’d been searching for and didn’t even know it Then you went and saved my life and all, and I’ll never be the sauratively I didn’t set out to fall in love with you, but I did And I hope you know that if you ever need et done tonight, text me Or call Or hell, show up at my door Because I haven’t even been away from you for half a day, and I already miss the hell out of you Sadly, I’ht I add because I can’t sleep without you anymore—and just wanted to send you one last text to let you know that you were on my mind I love you
Sadly, he didn’t reply
Luckily, I didn’t notice that he didn’t reply because the drugs finally pulled me under

It was the hot breath on my neck that woke me
I wasn’t worried, though
I was used to the breath Stink and all
Laric was perfect, but his s to be desired
I rolled over and stared at hi on my face
I reached forward and poked hiht under his eye
He blinked one eye open
“How’d you get in?” I asked curiously “I set the alarm”
“Your dad gave me the code and a key” He buried his face into my chest
